September is here, school is in full swing and I'm wishing the weather would act like it's fall instead of summer in the desert - scratch that, there's no way it would be this humid in a desert. Bring on that dry heat!
On the bright side, I've never been so grateful for air conditioning. It's rough, kids.
Currently I am laying on my couch in the only part of my apartment with AC writing this month's edition of the Currently Link Up with Anne in Residence. It's keeping my mind off of the heat and on some fond memories and exciting things ahead.
Starting: To wedding plan again. After the stress of booking the venue so much sooner than anticipated, we haven't really done anything wedding-y (unless you count my random pins here and there). I think the shock of that has settled and I'm ready to dive in to more of the fun details and making our day special. Now to decide on a color palette - I like pretty much every one I see.
Buying: A few new back-to-school goodies. While I am no longer a student, I do work at a school and as an end-of-summer treat, found myself aimlessly strolling the women's section of Target which is something I try to avoid for the sake of my wallet. (I mean seriously, have you seen these shoes?!)
Rather than go all out, I decided to pick a few items I knew would compliment those I already own. I couldn't pass up the unique blue of this sweater. It's a great transition from summer to fall and I know I'll wear it multiple ways throughout the year, whether with a scarf in the winter, or over a dress in the spring - plus the color is amazing!
I also ordered these pants, these booties, and this top (for some school spirit). I'll let you know how they turn out!
PS - These flats are IDENTICAL to the ones I got from Madewell last year, for a fraction of the price! And this skirt is a pink version of the one I wore in the A New Day post last year :)
Sharing: Workout adventures with a close group of accountability babes. I am hoping to get more in shape for the big day next June and joined a text chain with a few friends from the BIS Team. It's been fun checking in and seeing how everyone is doing and cheering one another on. I've actually been pretty solid for a little over a month in consistent exercise (5-6 times per week) which feels great! Here's hoping it sticks now that school has started...
Reading: Honestly, nothing right now. I finished Crazy Rich Asians right before the movie came out (book and movie were both amazing) and bought the second in the series but haven't had time to pick it up. I have a pile of about 10 books I'm hoping to read, but haven't made it a priority a past few weeks. I'm sure that will change.
Recording: Each and every memory I can (usually in the form of a photo). Michael and I ventured to Portland, Maine this weekend for a Labor Day getaway and anniversary celebration of the day we met. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from the trip.
What about you, friends? What have your currently's been lately? Any book recs or things to share?
Peace,
Sarah
